Dear Josh:

In reply to your letter of October il, I will be sled to send you
the cultures you ask for,

My cultures are all in lyophil now, and since I have only a
limited number of each type, I would anoreciate it if you would relyo-
philize the stocks after you heve checked them out, We don't have a
lyophilization set-up goins at the moment = hence my request,

As regards the question of mating ability of "inviablen haploids,
it was on the books to be studied at Oak Ridge, but was not done by me
[or anyone else thet I have heard],

IT am sending under seperate cover the reorint that you asked for,
Thanks very much for the group you sent me,

Congratulations on the Lilly Awerd - it could not have been more
outstandingly deserved, Regards to #sther, .

Best wishes,

Seypour Pomper
